Lokaci means time, and lokacin is the time of (time + genitive ‑n).
Azumi means fasting (very often Ramadan, if context is Islamic).
So a lokacin azumi is literally at the time of fasting, which in normal English is during the fast / during fasting.
The a is a preposition meaning at / in / on / during.
Without a, lokacin azumi on its own can still mean the time of fasting, but as a time expression at the beginning of the sentence, a lokacin azumi is the usual, smooth way to say during the fast.
Azumi basically means fasting, in a general sense.
In practice:
- In an Islamic context, azumi on its own very often refers to the Ramadan fast.
- It can also refer to other fasts, depending on context.
In this sentence, with yara su ci abinci tare bayan rana ta faɗi (children eating together after sunset), the cultural context clearly suggests the Ramadan fast, but grammatically azumi itself is just fasting.
